How Does Ventolin Work?
Ventolin inhalers are designed to quickly relieve asthma symptoms by widening the airways in your lungs. They fall under the category of "reliever" inhalers, which are used on an as-needed basis to ease symptoms like coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. For many with mild asthma, a reliever inhaler is all that is required, although some individuals may need both a reliever and a preventer inhaler to manage their condition.
Types of Asthma Inhalers
-
Preventer Inhalers:
These inhalers typically contain corticosteroids and are taken regularly to reduce inflammation in the airways, thereby lowering the chance of an asthma attack.
-
Reliever Inhalers (Ventolin):
Ventolin, a salbutamol-based inhaler, works by quickly relaxing the muscles around the airways. This action helps to open up the air passages, making it easier to breathe. Ventolin can also be used before exercise or exposure to known allergens to preempt symptoms.
Ventolin Inhaler Variants
-
Accuhaler:
This is a plastic device that contains a strip of 60 blisters. Each blister delivers a 200mcg dose of microfine salbutamol combined with lactose.
-
Evohaler:
A pressurized metal device, the Evohaler provides 100mcg of salbutamol per inhalation. It uses HFA-134a as a propellant, which is more environmentally friendly than older options. The Evohaler is the more commonly used form of Ventolin.
How Salbutamol Works
Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2-agonist. When you inhale it, salbutamol targets the beta-2 receptors in your lungs, causing the muscles around the airways to relax. This relaxation helps the airways to widen, easing asthma symptoms within about five minutes, so you can breathe more easily.
